Warriors Rookie Hazing: “Hello Kitty” & “One Direction” Backpacks

It’s rookie hazing time. With a lot of rosters set, it’s time for the veterans to haze the incoming rookies that made the team. For the Golden State Warriors, that means a pair of backpacks commmemorating boy band, “One Direction,” and Japanese Bobtail animated cat, “Hello Kitty.” The targets, rookies Ognjen Kuzmic and Nemanja Nedovic.

The Oakland Tribune‘s Marcus Thompson posted a pic of the smiling rookies rocking the incriminating backpacks to his instagram. It’s not the NBA season until befuddled rookies are wearing children’s cartoon-inspired backpacks, so we’re happy this is currently happening.

That’s Kuzmic with the “Hello Kitty” backpack and Nedovic in “One Direction.” NBA rookie hazing is the best.
